It's only when used for X and Y values for individual series that the dunamic names are retained. That's why we have to resort to tricks like this. And this trick is more flexible, because the data range for the chart doesn't need to be a nicely defined block of cells for it to work.

I just tried it and unfortunately, the source automatically switches to the name's resulting range. At least it does in Excel 2007. Thanks for the tip.
